Recommend England’s wonderfully cozy fantasy to fans of Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz, A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J. Penner, and Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett.
Chakraborty’s high-seas fantasy tale is as enthralling as its predecessor, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, featuring a powerfully independent woman attempting to balance her own ambition with ensuring the safety of her family and friends.

The Republic of Memory
El Sayed takes Arabfuturism to space in this vibrant, layered achievement that librarians can hand to fans of Kim Stanley Robinson’s political sci-fi or Rivers Solomon’s An Unkindness of Ghosts.

Broken Dove
A quick read despite its length, this middle book in an expected trilogy both sets up further action and loops in place, but those loops are lovely as Wren discovers new aspects of her history and true desires.
Fans of Terry Pratchett or Mark Waddell’s socially conscious, humorous fantasies will adore Darkshire’s “Household Gramarye” books.
Highly recommended for fans of Idolfire, as well as those who love fantasy mysteries, mythic retellings, and historical-tinged fantasy.

The Rainshadow Orphans
Ishiguro offers a detailed novel that will ensnare readers in its fantasy locale and action as they cheer and grieve alongside its stalwart characters.
PREMIUM
A Star-Cursed Heart
A joyfully queer reclamation of love, identity, and family that creates space for forgiveness through communication, reparation, and challenging the status quo.
Lin’s debut is a warm and cozy romantasy with a dash of irreverent humor. Recommend to fans of Sangu Mandanna and Sarah Beth Durst.
